I like it, but what is it a modded Chevvy?

Front end resembles a 1957 Chev. Rear end 1959 Chev. But many mods - fenders rounded for a start.

If I had to guess I would say fibreglass body. If all steel there is some serious bodywork hours spent on it. Or it came from India, where they tell me that you can see cars welded together all the time. Sometimes right on the side of the road.

Did 'Bristol' ever make there new car for Production

No, not that one. When the outside investor came in they tried a few mock ups and espoused grand plans for the Marque.

As an aside, I used to pass Tony Crook driving down Castlenau (for those of you who know London!) on his way to the office every morning on my way to work.

He drove a Bristol Beaufighter with a terrific Reg No. - 100MPH.

He also used to lock his Showroom Door on the Kensington High Street every day at lunch time whilst he ate his lunch and read the paper. Anyone knocking at the door was simply ignored and I mean anyone.

A wonderful eccentric.

Some of the engines in these cars from the 1930's look like they could have been used in airplanes of the 1940's.

Maybe the other way around believe Duesenberg engine Air-planes were about in 1919

Edit: Likewise Supercharged engines
